Mandy Rose Has Reportedly Been Released From WWE One Night After Losing The NXT Title

On Tuesday night, the third-longest NXT women’s title reign came to an end when Roxanne Perez pinned Mandy Rose for the belt. Early on Wednesday, Sean Ross Sapp reported that Rose has been released from her contract due to content she has posted on her FanTime page.

The news comes following Rose’s 413-day run as champion, only bested by Asuka and Shayna Baszler. Rose finished in second place on the show Tough Enough in 2015, but later joined the promotion and earned her way toward the top of the WWE roster. Following a stint with Sonya Deville, Rose rejoined NXT in 2021 to lead the Toxic Attraction faction, and in October won her first major women’s title.

Where Rose goes from here is very much up in the air, but options to join outside promotions, such as AEW, Ring of Honor, or Impact seem like reasonable options. It’s very possible that Rose ultimately moves away from wrestling altogether, as the money she was making from her website reportedly was more than she was making in WWE.

With Rose done with NXT, the belt rests with the 21-year-old Perez. She was the inaugural Ring of Honor women’s champion before signing with WWE earlier this year and became one half of the NXT women’s tag team champions with Cora Jade.
